SECTION 17 • SANITATION

Tip #1
Every time you empty the black water holding tank you need add a holding tank treatment to assist
in controlling odors and help break-down solids. You should always use environmentally safe
treatments. Enzyme based treatments use the good bacteria to digest waste and control odors.
There are lots of different brands and there are liquid and granular type treatments. I recommend
trying some different brands and types of treatments until you find one that works best for you.
Tip #2

Make sure you have the required couplings and connectors to make wastewater connections at the
campground. It might be necessary to attach two sewer hoses together to reach the sewer connection.
I recommend you only use heavy duty sewer hoses. They’re not that expensive and they hold up much
better. Keep a 10- foot hose and a 20- foot hose available. Do not pull or drag the sewer hose on the
ground, this will cause it to tear or get pin holes in it.

Tip #3

Sewer hose donuts are typically plastic, foam or rubber and are used to get a good seal where the
sewer hose attaches to the campground sewer connection. These are included in some sewer hose
kits you can purchase. Camping tip: When you flush the black water holding tank using a see-
through connector lets you know when the tank is really clean. Watch Video www.youtube.com/
